Join Maite and Brandon Tam, Orchid Specialist Horticulturist at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens as they weave art, culinary and botanical history in this next iteration of Taste of Art. Participants will explore themes of cultural encounters and fluidity of borders in the “Borderlands” exhibition as well as a visit to the Rose Hills Conservatory for Botanical Science where they will view and learn about the vanilla orchid and cacao tree. Following the conversation participants will make an inspired cocktail from 100% corn whiskey, passionfruit ceviche over warm black beans, and a chocolate dessert paired with vanilla liqueur.
This program will be held indoors in the Ahmanson Classroom in the Brody Botanical Center. A portion of the class will include visiting gallery and conservatory spaces so please wear comfortable walking shoes. If you have any mobility issues, please contact Maria Ahverdyan at mahverdyan@huntington.org or by phone (626) 405-3457.
All supplies and materials included. Participants must be 21 or older.
